Abstract:

We develop a new class of weight balanced binary search trees called β-balanced binary search trees (β-BBSTs). β-BBSTs are designed to have reduced internal path length. As a result, they are expected to exhibit good search time characteristics. Individual search, insert, and delete operations in an n node β-BBST take O( log n) time for [Formula: see text]. Experimental results comparing the performance of β-BBSTs, WB(α) trees, AVL-trees, red/black trees, treaps, deterministic skip lists and skip lists are presented. Two simplified versions of, β-BBSTs are also developed.

Abstract:

Our new algorithm and data structure, pyramid search (PS) and skip ring, were created with the help of circular linked list and skip list algorithms and data structures. In circular linked list, operations were performed on a single circular list. Our new data structure consists of circular linked lists formed in layers which were linked in a pyramid way. Time complexity of searching, insertion and deletion algorithms equal to [Formula: see text] (lg[Formula: see text]) in an [Formula: see text]-element skip ring data structure. Therefore, skip ring data structure is employed more effectively ([Formula: see text](lg[Formula: see text])) in circumstances where circular linked lists ([Formula: see text]) are used. The priority is determined based on the searching frequency in PS which was developed in this study. Thus, the time complexity of searching is almost [Formula: see text](1) for [Formula: see text] records data set. In this paper, the applications of searching algorithms like linear search (LS), binary search (BS) and PS were realized and the obtained results were compared. The obtained results demonstrated that the PS algorithm is superior to the BS algorithm.

Abstract:

We present a new multi-dimensional data structure, which we call the skip quadtree (for point data in R2) or the skip octree (for point data in Rd, with constant d > 2). Our data structure combines the best features of two well-known data structures, in that it has the well-defined “box”-shaped regions of region quadtrees and the logarithmic-height search and update hierarchical structure of skip lists. Indeed, the bottom level of our structure is exactly a region quadtree (or octree for higher dimensional data). We describe efficient algorithms for inserting and deleting points in a skip quadtree, as well as fast methods for performing point location, approximate range, and approximate nearest neighbor queries.

Abstract:

Due to the increasing number of Internet users and the volume of information exchanged by software applications, Internet packet traffic has increased significantly, which has highlighted the need to accelerate the processing required in network systems. Packet classification is one of the solutions implemented in network systems. The most important issue is to use an approach that can classify packets at the speed of the network and show optimum performance in terms of memory usage. In this study, we evaluated the performance in packet classification of two of the most important data structures used in decision trees, i.e. the skip list and splay tree. Our criteria for performance were the time of packet classification, the number of memory accesses, and memory usage of each event. These criteria were tested by the ACL and IPC rules with different numbers of rules as well as by different packet numbers. The results of the evaluation showed that the performance of skip lists is higher than that of splay trees. By increasing the number of classifying rules, both the difference in the speed of packet classification and the superiority of the performance of the skip list over that of the splay tree become more significant. The skip list also maintains its superiority over the splay tree in lower memory usage. The results of the experiments confirm the scalability of this method in comparison to the splay tree method.

Abstract:

Internet (IP) packet forwarding is typically done by finding the longest prefix in a router table that matches the packet's destination address. Although significant effort has been devoted to the development of data structures for static and dynamic router-tables for random packet-access-patterns, considerably less effort has been expended in the development of such structures for bursty access-patterns (i.e., streams of packets in which destination addresses repeat frequently within localized windows of packets). In this paper, we first formulate a variant, ACRBT (alternative collection of red-black trees), of the CRBT (collection of red-black trees) data structure proposed earlier for dynamic router-tables. By replacing the red-black trees used in the ACRBT with splay trees, we obtain the CST (collection of splay trees) structure in which search, insert, and delete take O( log n) amortized time per operation, where n is the number of prefixes in the router table. By replacing the front end of the CST with biased skip lists, we obtain the BSLPT (biased skip lists with prefix trees) structure in which search, insert, and delete take O( log n) expected time. The CST and BSLPT structures are designed so as to perform much better when the access pattern is bursty than when it is not. Experimental results using real IPv4 routing databases and synthetically generated search sequences as well as trace sequences are presented. For extremely bursty access patterns, the CST structure is best. Otherwise, the ACRBT is recommended. Our experiments also indicate that a supernode implementation of the ACRBT usually has better search performance than does the traditional one-element-per-node implementation.

Abstract:

Purpose Last spring, EBSCO Information Services conducted a usability study with several students with visual impairments. The goal was to understand how these students conduct research and identify areas for improvement of EBSCO Discovery Service™ such that it would meet the needs of all potential users. EBSCO Discovery Service™ provides users with means of accessing all of an institution’s internal (library) and external (database vendors) information resources through a single search. The purpose of this paper is to outline the findings of this research and the applicability to the design of any online resource. Design/methodology/approach Using the Bentley University’s user experience lab to facilitate the study and the Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, Massachusetts, for recruitment of college students, EBSCO solicited feedback on how students conduct research on the Web in general, as well as their experience using EBSCO’s discovery service. The study involved a structured interview with eight visually impaired students from the Boston area, who had recently been enrolled in a college course. The students were also asked to complete certain tasks using the discovery service and report out as they completed each activity. Findings The findings demonstrated that for the most part, students with visual impairments engaged in research on the Web and within the discovery service in a similar manner to sighted students. They used the same standard search sites, expected the same layout conventions for results’ lists and filters and wanted easily savable full-text documents. Main differences involved their ability to navigate in a similar way to sighted users. Elements that one could skip over quickly as a sighted user were more of a hindrance to those relying on a screen reader. Additionally, improved descriptions for graphics, functions and form fields were noted as opportunities for improvement. For those with low vision, using screen magnifiers, modal boxes and hover features or other unexpected changes on the site proved to be challenging. Research limitations/implications This study focused only on students with visual disabilities. There are many other print disabilities that were not explored such as color blindness, cognitive disabilities or learning disabilities. All the students were in their 20s and had experience conducting research and using library or research-related search sites. Many of the findings highlighted areas of improvement that would benefit all students. Originality/value A study on students with visual disabilities using assistive technologies as they completed research tasks on a discovery system has not been studied before. Guidelines and audits do not provide a complete picture as to whether a website is fully accessible. It is only by working with actual users that insight into what it means to create a truly accessible experience can be gained.

Abstract:

The potencies of topical corticosteroid products have mainly been classified using clinical data but in some instances, the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) vasoconstrictor assay (VCA) to assess the skin blanching response has also been used. However, the reported skin blanching response data were often based on a single visual reading and lack information on the dose (amount/quantity) or dose duration. Although several lists classifying potencies of various topical corticosteroid products have been published, the inherent potencies of topical corticosteroid raw materials used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have not been investigated. The objective was to rank the inherent potencies of topical corticosteroid APIs and to standardize dosing such that the relevant compounds could be compared on a normalized molar basis. The potencies of clobetasol propionate, halcinonide, mometasone furoate, and fluocinolone acetonide were compared using the resulting Emax data following the fitting of the relevant response data to the Emax model where mometasone furoate > fluocinolone acetonide = clobetasol propionate > halcinonide. This ranking lists the respective inherent potencies of the APIs, which will facilitate the choice of a suitable candidate for incorporation into an appropriate topical corticosteroid product for a specific clinical indication.

Abstract:

With the increasing and ageing population and concomitant increased referral of skin lesions and skin cancer in particular, problems with regard to waiting times to be seen as well as waiting lists currently face us. While several other specialties including radiotherapists, dermatologists, general surgeons, general practitioners may perform surgical and other treatments, there may be some confusion as well as some inefficiencies in the services provided. With a better understanding of the different grades and types of skin cancer, it should be possible to provide a more efficient and fairer service even without a major increase in resources. The question is whether or not the general practitioners and their patients are ready for prioritisatio?

Abstract:

There have been many public health recommendations for avoiding UV radiation exposures. This is primarily due to concerns about skin cancer and especially melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. However, UV radiation is also known as the primary source of vitamin D and other compounds needed for good health. This brief commentary lists several of the many important recent studies of adverse health effects associated with low sun exposure, including some specific cancers, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, and age-related macular degeneration. Our conclusion is that non-burning UV exposure is a health benefit and—in moderation—should be recommended as such.

Abstract:

Although suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) is becoming widely used, problems still arise from it. The occurrence of postsurgical skin waves clearly causes difficulties for surgeons. A surgical approach is presented that prevents these irregularities in the treated areas. For the past 10 years, suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) has proved to be one of the most effective techniques in solving the problem of localized adiposity. SAL is a simple procedure which is becoming widespread throughout the world. It is also associated with other surgical operations such as face and neck lifts, abdominal lifts, thigh lifts, and breast reduction. This technique has become increasingly refined so that it produces very effective and exciting results. Nevertheless, an unsolved problem persists: the possibility of creating unattractive depressions or holes in the treated areas. As is known, cosmetic surgical operations are performed not out of urgency or because of a need to treat a physical disease, but for aesthetic purposes. For this reason, any iatrogenic damage to the patient is of great concern, and doctors who perform such operations are oriented toward avoiding these complications. The problem of skin waves which many physicians face today needs to be addressed. Although waves may appear after an operation and disappear quickly thereafter, in many cases a permanent mark in the skin occurs and is not easily remedied after the operation.

Abstract:

Abstract The mouse represents a key model system for the study of the physiology and biochemistry of skin. Comparison of skin between mouse and human is critical for interpretation and application of data from mouse experiments to human disease. Here, we review the current knowledge on structure and immunology of mouse and human skin. Moreover, we present a systematic comparison of human and mouse skin transcriptomes. To this end, we have recently used a genome-wide database of human gene expression to identify genes highly expressed in skin, with no, or limited expression elsewhere – human skin-associated genes (hSAGs). Analysis of our set of hSAGs allowed us to generate a comprehensive molecular characterization of healthy human skin. Here, we used a similar database to generate a list of mouse skin-associated genes (mSAGs). A comparative analysis between the top human (n=666) and mouse (n=873) skin-associated genes (SAGs) revealed a total of only 30.2% identity between the two lists. The majority of shared genes encode proteins that participate in structural and barrier functions. Analysis of the top functional annotation terms revealed an overlap for morphogenesis, cell adhesion, structure, and signal transduction. The results of this analysis, discussed in the context of published data, illustrate the diversity between the molecular make up of skin of both species and grants a probable explanation, why results generated in murine in vivo models often fail to translate into the human.

Abstract:

Pine caterpillar,Thaumetopoea pityocampaSchiff, is a phyto- and xylophagous lepidopteran, responsible for the delay in the growth or the death of various types of pines. Besides nature damage, pine caterpillar causes dermatological reactions in humans by contact with its irritating larvae hairs. Although the dermatitis occurs among outdoor professionals, it is primarily extraprofessional. Contamination generally occurs in pinewoods, rarely in cities. Means of contamination comprise direct contact with the nest or the processional caterpillar and indirect contact with air dispersed hairs. The dermatitis is generally observed in late spring and particularly from April to June, among campers and tourers. The eruption has its onset 1–12 hours after contact with the hairs and presents with intense and continuous itching. Morphologically, it is strophulus-like and consists of papulous, excoriated, and pinkish lesions on an oedematous base. Diagnosis is usually straightforward. The pathogenetic mechanism of the affection is mechanical, pharmacological, and allergic in nature. Besides skin,T. pityocampaSchiff can involve the eyes and rarely the airways. Despite the considerable damages to humans and nature, pine caterpillar infestation is an underestimated problem; medical literature lists few studies, and often relevant information is referred to local media and popular wisdom.

Abstract:

In two randomized double-blind placebo-controlled experiments, 63 normal nonclinical men and women received treatments designed to raise or lower their testosterone levels. Sixteen men and 17 women applied testosterone or placebo gel to their skin for five-day periods, and 13 men and 17 women ingested capsules of licorice extract (which lowers testosterone) or placebo for four-day periods. Subjects described their feelings on daily check lists, wrote paragraphs summarizing their experience, and completed implicit-attitude measures. Testosterone increased arousal and hostility, and licorice decreased energy and positive affect. Reactions were stronger among women than among men.

Abstract:

Background A growing interest exists in the relationship between diet and skin disease, with many recent studies identifying a role for omega-3 fatty acids (O3FAs) in various dermatological conditions. Objective Our objective was to identify the spectrum of uses for O3FA supplementation reported in literature and to evaluate the current level of evidence for its clinical application in skin disease prevention and management. Methods A search was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE for primary literature that examined O3FA intake and skin health. A manual search of reference lists was performed to identify additional articles for inclusion. Results A total of 38 studies met eligibility for review, reporting benefits for O3FA supplementation in the treatment of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, and skin ulcers. Additionally, a reduced incidence of skin cancer and a decrease in the severity of drug-associated mucocutaneous side effects were reported with O3FA supplementation. Conclusion This review yielded many well-studied benefits of O3FA uses in dermatology. Given its high safety profile, low cost, and ease of supplementation, O3FA is a reasonable supplement that may benefit patients wishing to improve inflammatory skin conditions through diet. Areas of particular clinical interest where supplementation may be valuable include O3FAs for systemic UV photoprotection, as well as adjuvant treatment for acne to reduce both inflammatory lesion count and the severity of mucocutaneous side effects associated with isotretinoin use.

Abstract:

Objective: To determine the prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency in the general population and its association with varicose veins. Data sources: MEDLINE search 1980–94 plus scanning of reference lists in articles obtained. Study selection: Studies on venous disease in subjects not attending health services. Data synthesis: A formal systematic review of metaanalysis was not carried out because of the heterogeneity of the few available studies. Skin changes were found to occur in over 3% of adults, more so in women than men. The prevalence was higher in subjects with varicose veins and depended on the definition of skin changes and the severity of varicose veins. Approximately 0.3% of adults had an open varicose ulcer, and around 1% had an open or healed ulcer. Prevalence was higher in women and increased with age. Conclusions: The prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency was found to be common in the general population, but more studies of distribution and aetiology are required.
